Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “牧野の雪” (Snow in Makino) blankets a village of traditionally thatched roofs - built in the gassho-zukuri (合掌造り) style to shed snow - in heavy snowfall. Paddy fields lie in the foreground, with a forested hillside beyond. A spectacularly atmospheric & charming glimpse of Makino’s winter on Lake Biwa’s northwest shore. ❄️🌲.
